OpenStudy (anonymous):

huh, so is it d?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no i misread your thing just plug in the coordinates and see if it makes sense in both cases

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you mean by less than or greater to

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, you just plug it in?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This! |dw:1353111330549:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(y \le x-5) and { y \le-x-4}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

try (1;10) you get 10<-4 and 10<-5 in this case it doesn't make sense try the next one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, thx for helping me! what is the next?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't thi the nex tis right. :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

try (-1;10) 10<-6 and 10<-3 this also doesn't make sense

OpenStudy (anonymous):

try (10;1) 1<5 and 1<-14 first one makes sense but second doesn't so it must be the last one but we should verify

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-10<-4 and -10<-3 which makes sense right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I guess, so it is d?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup negative ten is smaller that -4 and negative ten is smaller that negative three so both statements are true and the answer is d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, thx so much! :D
